I'm so glad that Hamster's Arcade Archives are a thing.

I like Ace Combat, but I think the series got a lot better from Electrosphere and 4 on. I'm sure this will be of interest to diehard AC fans though.

For me, it's the total opposite. This has big bad cool ass After Burner vibes!
I loathe the console exclusives

Pretty cool.
Hopefully it can be played with a cool Hori flight stick somehow
Can I hook up my ps2 flight stick to my ps4 with an adapter?

Holy shit

Just in time for Ace Combat's 30th Anniversary.

Looks like it is gonna get a worldwide release despite using real world aircraft.

Cross your fingers, everyone. We don't want this to be another F/A.

Fingers crossed.

Excellent news for an excellent game, though I worry that you would not be able to push it quite to the limits you need for score without some esoteric autofire rates (I think I saw AKO mention somewhere he used 0.92hz in a few spots!), which is unlikely to be a concession granted out by Hamster. Still it will be nice to see some new high-scoring replays, or attempts at them, with the new port! I'll be picking it up I suppose

I was replaying some Sonic Wings/AF 2 and 3 the other night and was unfortunately reminded of how fucking dogshit the early/Neo-Geo ACA releases are. Practically unplayable, especially for Aero Fighters 2/3. Made me upset to think that while they're moving ahead with ACA2, they leave the huge chunk of their old catalog languishing in the dust.

The PXN-2119 Pro Flight Stick is compatible with both the PS4 & Xbox One + Xbox Series S/X gaming consoles -- it's $99.99 usd on Amazon right now. https://www.amazon.com/PXN-2119Pro-simu ... 432&sr=1-6

I do recall seeing the Namco "System Super 22" powered Air Combat 22 arcade cabinet at my local Camelot Park joint -- it had the huge rear-projection monitor for that "larger-than-life" overall visual presentation to draw the players in, indeed, back in 1994-1995. They even had the rare Microprose produced "F-15 Strike Eagle" arcade cab as well -- how cool was that?
